  • What I Want from macOS in WWDC 2026

    What I Want from macOS in WWDC 2026

    A few days ago on the Rocket Yard blog, I pontificated on features and fixes I’d like Apple to include in macOS 27. My hopes are not high, particularly due to the rumors swirling around Apple’s intent to deeply embrace AI integration within their numerous operating systems. Nevertheless, my wish list may resonate with other Mac users. 

    At this moment in time, macOS 26.5 seems fine, in terms of its overall stability in my day-to-day use. I’ve tested it on both the Mac mini M4 and the M1 Pro MacBook Pro. If you’ve been avoiding Tahoe, now may be the time to give it a spin.

    With the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, I’m hoping to establish a clear Tahoe baseline. Some of the smaller annoyances I’m experiencing with macOS Tahoe on my M1 Pro model may stem from years of accumulated cruft.

  • Apple Doesn’t Want You to Uninstall Software

    Apple Doesn’t Want You to Uninstall Software

    If you use a Mac for any period of time, you will slowly accumulate a raft of applications. But what happens when you want to remove an app you no longer need or use? In this scenario, users are often left to discover third party uninstallers, such as Pearcleaner, CleanMyMac or AppCleaner. Reviews across the Internet have been mixed, with regard to their effectiveness at removing all traces of a given app. (Personally speaking: I’ve used all three, and haven’t had any issues.)

    But it brings me to my main point: Why doesn’t Apple include its own uninstaller app?

    In the year of 2026, the exercise of removing apps is left to the user. And it’s not as simple as dragging an application into the Trash.

    How very un-Apple like.
